JEPPE JRGEN A. SR-ENSON, OF ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA.

MANGLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 314,269, dated March 24, 1885.

Application filed September 7, 15383. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.:-

Be itknown that I, JEPPE JRGEN A. SRENsoN, a citizen of Sweden, residing at Erie, in the county of Erie and State of Penn- The objects of my invention will appear hereinafter in the specication and claim.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the features of my improvements, Figure l is a perspective view of my entire machine. Fig. 2is a vertical section of my machine through the line m .r in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of my machine when folded up. Fig. shows a section of my machine with the cloth to be mangled being rolled around the middle roller.

Similar letters refer to si lnilar parts throughout the several views.

l The frame-work of my device cons1sts of the base K K, having cross-piece k .7c and j, to which are hinged the standards E E at J J. The standardsE E have a cross-piece, F, connecting their tops together. The table D is also hinged to the standards E E at J J, the outer end of the table D being supported by legs I I, hinged to the table at J2 J2, and the lower ends of the legs I I rest upon the side pieces of the base K K, being held in place by dowel-pins t t, entering holes tt in the endsthereof, when the machine is ready for use. The legs I I are also connected together by a cross-piece, fi.

The rollers A B G are mounted one above the other in grooves c c, cut in the standards E E of the frame, as shown` in Fig. 1. The lower roller, C, is so placed that its surface is slightly above the top of the table D. This roller C has attached to its journal c a crank, c', by which it is turned. The roller B rests upon the roller C, and has attached therel to a double web, u a', and moves freely up and down on its journals Ig b in the grooves e c. rIhe roller A rests upon the roller B and moves up and downu in the grooves e e on its journals a a. Upon the journals a a rest pressnre-blocks h h, and bearing upon these pressure-blocks h, h are spiral springs H H, which work in the grooves e c. Upon the tops of the springs H H rests a movable cross-piece, G, under the cross-piece F of the frame, the thumb-screws F F passingthrough F and resting upon the movable piece G, by means. of which thumb-screws F F the pressure upon the springs H H may be increased or decrease at pleasure.

In operation the crank c is turned soas to bring the web u u around so as to unwind it from the roller B, to which it is attached, so

Fig. 2. The cloth to be mangled is then laidout upon the table so that one end of it willu lie upon or between the parts, of the web u u. Then by turning the crank e the cloth to be mangled is wound around the roller B, as shown in Figa-i, and at the same time brought in Contact with the pressure of the rollers A and C. After subjecting the cloth to a few turns i of the rollers, the motion of the rollers is reversed, by turning the crank c' backward, and the goods removed from the rollers, this process being repeated with eacli piece of `goods to be mangled.

In folding up my machine, as shown in Fig. 3, the hooks M are detached and the table D folded against the upper portion of the standards E E, and the base of the frame K is also folded up, as shown, the dowel-pins t passing into holes k k in the ends of the side pieces, K K. The hooks L being then inserted into the staples hold the frame folded together, as shown in Fig. 3.

I am aware that mangles have heretofore been constructed with three rollers, and therefore do not claim three rollers act-ing together in a mangle as new.

What I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, 'is- In a clothes-mangle, the base-frame K K, provided with holes k k and t t', the standards E E, hinged to the center thereof and supthat it will lie upon the table Das shown in.

ICO

porting the compression-rollers, in combinapositions7 substantiztily :is and for the purpose tion with the table D,hinged to the standards set forth. 1c E E in front of the eompression-ro1lers, legs I In testimony whereof I affix my signature Lhinged to the outer edge of the tab1e7wherein presence of two Witnesses.

5 by the said parts may be placed in operative JEPPE JRGEN A. SRENSON,

position or the table and base folded up Vitnesses: against the standards E E, and hooks and H. E. PICKET,

staples for holding the parts in the desired G. J. STURGEON.
